Any one have the best VBA.self that they could send my way? I currently have the latest stable version and I'm looking for a better one
Well Retroarch has never been very stable, but yes now with 1.6.7 on Vita it became completely unusable. It crashes to reboot all the time for me when loading cores, or gives errors on loading content... glad to see it is not just me. Is anyone testing these things before releasing new "stable' builds?
EDIT: I reverted back to 1.6.4 and the Mame 2003 core loads without crashing, but loading Atari Lynx (Handy) content still crashes the emulator. I know it worked in an older version, but which one (sigh).

EDIT: Never mind, I thought it was bad but it is very good. I made a mistake and copied way too many Bios files ( hundreds of files ) into the system dir. Somehow that made Retroarch very unstable. I just tested it again after keeping only the bios files I really needed, and now the latest nightly it works great! Sorry for the confusion in my earlier posts.

I used last nightly and works very well. And yes, i noticed slightly improvement since version before 1.6.4 (for example, i noticed less slowdown and frame drop after a load state in Crash 2)
Well I deleted all of them apart from three SCPH playstation files and the mame2003/samples and fba/samples files. Having too many subdirs and files in system/mame2003 caused that core to crash on load.
Having lynxboot.img present caused all lynx games to crash into black screen on load.
I would suggest using the latest nightly. It is working fine and some improvements are always being made (better sound in non-plus Snes9x 2005 emulator, etc.).
Which core is it? I am sorry but I did not try every core. Some might still crash. I would like to try the one you have problems with, too.
BTW: You can always go back and re-install the 1.6.4 "stable" over your current install, if you want to try that one.

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -

BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

@rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.+1 -
. Saves on time, soap, water and money having to wash them.
